HOW TIME CAN MAKE OR BREAK A RELATIONSHIP

KILLING TIME OR KILLING THE RELATIONSHIP I was once in a relationship but the person just had no time for me. All the time he would give excuses such as busy at work, got to attend weddings, got to meet up with old friends, got to meet up with his boss on a Sunday night! And the excuses went on and on. He even mentioned he was wasting time! That was the last straw that broke the camel's back! The ultimate insult – talking with me is wasting time. LOW ON THE PRIORITIESr

CUTE CONFUSION: Do you know the American and British differences?

CUTE OR CUTIE Recently a spat took place about the understanding of the word cute. One commentator felt that the word cute is usually associated with a child and not an adult woman. It seems that some people have learnt a set sentence, for example, the baby is cute; the dog is cute. This is the correct usage of the word cute, but when it comes to the English language one word rarely has one meaning. It is far from the truth to say that the word cute is usually only associated with attractive-looking children, cats and dogs. ROOT OF THE PROBLEMr

IS MARRIAGE A NATURAL STATE?

WHAT DO DIVORCE RATES SAY ABOUT MARRIAGE? We have all heard about the high rates of divorce in the West and we have also heard about how people are increasingly shunning marriage in the UK and US, opting instead for living together or singledom. Are soaring divorce rates indicative of an out-of-date institution that is totally irrelevant in modern times? They are definitely indicative of the fact that people are not prepared to continue a marriage and want out! NATURAL versus UNNATURALr

Can we really embrace such an idea? What are the benefits of this freedom? Is this the type of freedom worth having? WHAT DOES THIS QUOTE MEAN?r

DO PRAYERS AND BLESSINGS WORK? YES BUT NOT EXACTLY HOW MOST HUMANS WOULD LIKE

People sometimes ask me to pray for them. I always do. But sometimes they wonder: why did I not pass that exam when you were praying and blessing me. The answer is perhaps that was not to be for you at that particular time. Possibly a greater lesson is needed in your life and that is the lesson of humbleness or the lesson of proper preparation. Or perhaps a greater blessing is on the way. There is an expression: Repetition is the mother of skill, so actually if you enjoy the journey of doing something again you could actually learn and benefit more from your endeavors.

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MONEY Money is a fact of life – we cannot run away from it, but should we make money our God? – the end all and be all. Well whenever I have discussions about money, the concluding view is that we cannot really have a good life without money. In fact, life is often limited by the amount of money we have.
